our WORK

Alderbrook’s main building and 21 two-bedroom cottages provide a serene retreat on Hood Canal. An extensive reconstruction replaced half the original buildings and upgraded the remaining facilities, bringing the landmark 1913 lodge back to full use. The covered entrance leads into a two-story-high lobby with post and beam construction and a 6-foot-wide fireplace in the massive stone chimney.

The Alderbrook Inn project consisted of the demolition of approximately 50% of the original inn and extensive remodel and renovation work on the remaining 50%. Alderbrook features 77 guest rooms and 21 two-bedroom cottages.

Working closely with the owner, architect, engineers, and design/build contractors, Walsh planned thoroughly to meet logistic challenges of the remote site and ensure timely delivery of materials. Innovative techniques included integration of glass window walls into the main building; and structural bracing arms installed on peeler poles.

Walsh coordinated relocation of a state highway and rehabilitation of a salmon stream running through the property; new infrastructure for storm and sewer; reused cedar logs mined from road construction; purchased and milled logs locally; and used local barn board for interior finishes.

Walsh is proud to have been a part of renovating this historic building to its present-day beauty, keeping it true to its history and preparing it for the enjoyment of future generations of visitors.
